Happy Australia Day. Here it's 19 degrees (F), and the snow is shining off the snow in absolutely blinding sparkles.
I was on duty last night and this morning -- bad timing, as I've finally fallen prey to the stomach bug that's been making the rounds of my acquaintance. Also bad timing to spend the weekend at a meet. That's how it is. Usually this long weekend is a nice lull in the frenetic pace of life at two institutions but not this year.
My advisees made my grandmother's cheesecake recipe last night.
Cheese Cake (from Nana)
Preheat 375
4 8 oz cream cheese at room temp.
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
3 egg yolks
1 lemon's rind gratings
1 lemon''s juice
1 cup sour cream
Beat cheeses together until creamy, gradually beat in sugar
Beat in sour cream and vanilla, then eggs, one at a time, well.
Add lemon juice and rind.
Pour into springform lined with graham cracker crust (baked).
Bake 1 hour at 375.
Cool in oven 1 hour.
Cool on rack 1 hour
Refrigerate until serving (best when refrigerated overnight). Do not release springform until fully chilled.
It was all good except that someone shut off the oven in the middle, and when we discovered this and turned the oven back on, we weren't sure how much longer it needed. So ... it's a little brown on top. But still good!

Ooh, yum! I hope you got to eat some in spite of the tummy bug (and that you're feeling better!) :)
